How about a yasnippet box:



       ,------------------------.
       ! A box from a yasnippet |
       `------------------------´

The snippet file:

 >>> --->8-------------------------->8-------------------------->8---
#name : ! box |
# --
       ,${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\-)}--.
       ! ${1:SubTitle} |
       \`${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\-)}--´
$0
<<< ---8<--------------------------8<--------------------------8<---


Setup yasnippets! It's the best package I found since Org-mode.

After loading the snippet above, you just type

box

and hit TAB. The box grows as you type. After TAB point is automatically
at ${1:SubTitle} (where SubTitle is the default text, that is
overwritten if you decide to type somthing. There could be $2, $3 etc.
to TAB to more than one place in the snippet (S-TAB backwards).
$0 is where point should go after the last TAB, that exits the snippet.

You can even easily define, which editing mode inherits from which,
simply by changing the directory structure.


WOWWWW. Fast, simple, productive!!!
